wrappin’up my internship
I have half an hour left for my summer internship at this moment…
The first thought that comes to me is that it’s good to be back to school again. Just like the last summer’s one, this internship hasn’t given me a chance to produce some sort of visible outcome… well, unfortunately. But I guess it may be the reality of many of the internships out there. I’m still thankful for having this opportunity though since it wasn’t all that bad, yea, of course not. I’d like to think that there isn’t no such thing as bad experience. I tasted a little bit of what it’s like to work for a not-so-big design agency in seoul and met some nice people and most importantly, realized that I can actually be a qualified person for working at companies like this. Well, having spent 2.5 months in a team whose main projects involves GUI for the most part, another important thing I realized is that I would definitely not want to be juat a GUI designer, but rather a interaction designer in a sense that it’s a job which I think involves a broader range of things as opposed to designing the very front of an interface. So the only regret would be that I haven’t yet had a chance to experience the whole, or even a part of, process including researching, concepting, ia-ing, and wireframing, etc. Only if had I done so, I could be more certain by now about what it is that I want to really pursue for my career in the near future. But I might as well be happy with my summer since I actually did something and learned something which helps me prepare my senior year that’s just around the corner!
